* Facilitates IEEE 519 Compliance
* Less than 5% iTHD at input terminal

This is a list for a regenerative converter. I know that THD stands for Total Harmonic Distortion, but it's the " i " where I'm stuck. I have seen several kinds of THD, for example: vTHD is for voltage, and I believe the " i " may be for intermodulation, but I haven't found a convincing sentence that uses the word intermodulación along wirh distorsion armónica total

Spanish translation:Input Total Harmonic Distortion/distorsión armónica total en/de la corriente de entrada
Explanation:
I am no expert in this area, but my research shows that “iTHD” has a distinctive meaning, Input Total Harmonic Distortion, and is not exactly the same as THD. The “i” stands for “input” referring to “input current”, “corriente de entrada”. As far as I know, the usual expression in Spanish is “tasa de distorsión armónica total”, but in this case referred specifically to input current (iTHD) and calculated in percentages, as shown in your own example (“Less than 5% iTHD”).

https://www.satec-global.com/sites/default/files/Application...
In order to enable analysis of the harmonic distortion, the parameter THD, which stands for Total Harmonics Distortion, is defined as [maths formula]. There are two different THD values for the voltage (THDv) and current (THDi).

¿Qué es la tasa de distorsión armónica (Thd)?
(…)
La Thd (Total harmonic distorsion), o tasa de distorsión armónica, es una forma de cuantificar numéricamente los armónicos existentes en un determinado punto de medida. En Europa se utiliza el Thd referenciado respecto a h1, la onda fundamental (f) (50Hz) de intensidad teórica calculada según potencia.
La ThdI (%) es la distorsión de la corriente y la ThdU (%) es la distorsión referida a la tensión.
La ThdI (%) se genera por la no linealidad de la carga, mientras que la ThdU se genera por la fuente como resultado de una corriente muy distorsionada.
A partir de las corrientes eficaces (rms) de los diferentes armónicos, además de la fundamental: a) se calcula el ThdI (%) general b) se calcula el Ihn (%) para cada uno de los armónicos ( n = 3,5,7,…) en relación a la fundamental.

En toda esta normativa, se deduce que no se requieren equipos con una distorsión armónica total pequeña para la corriente de entrada (ITHD), sino un cumplimiento individual de los límites para cada armónico.


However, a fact is that you find both the expressions “iTHD” and “THDI”. I believe they both mean the same, but I am not totally sure. Please see here:

Multi-parameter mathematical model for determination of PC cluster total harmonic distortion of input current
Purpose - Low power devices with switched-mode power supply represent harmonic generating apparatus in widespread use nowadays. The influence of personal computers (PCs), which affect the supply voltage, is considered. Harmonic level due to simultaneous PC operation is quantified by the total harmonic distortion of input current (THDI).

THD o THDi: distorsión harmónica total


Explanation:
Tengo entendido que «THD» y «THDi» son términos equivalentes, no hay diferencia entre uno y otro.
